Intro to La Ronde

Learn La Ronde, a deceptively simple improv form based on a play of the same name. It's a chain of 2 person scenes where one character is replaced each scene. The circle of characters eventually wraps around until one of the characters from the first scene meets one from the last. When done properly, each new scene expands the world of the characters, always trying to answer the question, "What don't we know?"
